Bureaucratic Tyranny: "The Price of Structure" in the American University
Loss, Christopher P.
History of Education Quarterly, v45 n3 p446-453 Fall 2005
In this paper, the author examines the content of Laurence Veysey's subsequent scholarship--centered upon his career-long fascination with the "price structure" of American society and institutions. Veysey's first scholarly volume after The Emergence of the American University was Law and Resistance: American Attitudes toward Authority (1970). This book was ostensibly a collection of essays about the law of the "majority"--variously embodied by the state, jurisprudence, organized religions, and the police--and the resistance of ?minorities,? including libertarian anarchists, free-lovers, western outlaws, laissez-faire liberals, Black Power separatists, and student radicals. (Contains 17 footnotes.)
